Official Sharp Elite PRO-70X5 and 60X5 Owners Thread - Page 253

Wow !

Those pics of your set are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing. I have yet to watch my blurays on this series yet, although judging by your pics the transfer is awesome, and I need to get to it soon. Can't wait to get my tv calibrated.

great pics!...great to see you have good taste in TV also as Game of Thrones is the best show on TV

Well the dse is so bad on mine im going to ask for a third swap. If that doesnt happen then I am sadly pushing away from the Elite table...

The 2.16 firmware fixes a power issue.

Does everyone see the small detail and clarity I've been raving about in Radtech's picture's ? I'm talking about the eyelashes, eyebrow Individual Hairs, and the tight weave in the cloth.
Now People that is something I have never seen on any of my 3 Kuros and still have 2 of them.
That's what I like.
I don't care what the meter says.
Just Like Looking through a window.

man good luck, after my second push for a replacement i had to have some firepower.

Rad, Fantastic! Just fantastic!!!! ... and thanks for posting. The pictures are just awesome and I hope you are enjoying that beautiful PC you have going there to the fullest.

best,
Tom

Frankly, those jpegs good as they may seem don't do the set justice neither in detail nor color, but that can't be helped because of the medium. It's way better.

i guess i have to say big deal to you on that statement. my 80" sharp has no problem matching that level of detail. now of course black levels, and shadow detail. that is a whole different story.

Glenee you should see these screen shots on the new iPad retina display...I've only never seen images so clear and detailed. this is a three megapixel display so the idea that we may be seeing a 4 megapixel Elite very soon gets exciting. Up conversion to 4K will be worthwhile I think based on what I am seeing here!

This is a screenshot of a sharp Quattron, what do you think?

Again rumors of an Elite resurrection are about as real as its death. So ASSuming we get 4k (with no spec tondrive even from
Video cards 4k @60fps) is just speculation.

80" elite is sounding real.... He'll best buy will
Be making floor specs in magnolia this fall. Bit 4k panel is a stretch . At least not as laughable as a 4k LG 84"!!!!!

So when do we get display port inputs or hdmI 1.5x to drive 4k >24hz?

Has anyone actually used the Sharp AN3DG glasses? Are they the same as those supplied?

Rad, awesome pix! It's hard to find anyone better at this than you.

Guys, I saw so many comments about Hugo in 3D that I had to bite and go buy myself a copy. After watching it last night, I gotta say that I was disappointed in the 3D effects a bit - perhaps it was just built up too much. It is nowhere near as amazing as Avatar 3D, that's for sure, and several folks claimed it was right up there. For those not looking to drop 36 bucks on this thing, Hugo is an excellent, imaginative movie and though it is quite beautiful to watch, the 3D-ness is no better than Lion King 3D or several others. Just a heads up, hope that helps.

Still loving the 70inch Elite in all its calibrated glory!

Again, nothing .... Even a $799 nvidia gtx590, drives a 4k display at 60fps. It can do of course through displayport - Nvidia and ati have been driving 3-6 PC screens for 2 years with display port. But will they bring that to a tv and drop HDMI? HDMI 1.5?

Even the LG 4k booth powered by nvidia was using some converter box for 2 video cards to combine hdmi

Been reading here for a couple of months (takes awhile to get through all the info and all the noise) as it's time to update my ancient Mitsubishi WT-46809. I've looked at a few sets and have come down to two - the 60" Elite Pro and Sony's 55" HX929. I typically keep $$$ out of the equation and weigh performance, quality and service as my influencers. While no panel is flawless, it appears to me the Elite provides the greatest satisfaction amongst its owners and viewers. When I read the Sony thread, it seems that DSE and blooming issues raise the level of dissatisfaction among its owners to a level higher than the dissatisfaction level Elite owners express over cyan and pulsing. Just my take on the two threads....I have seen both sets side by side and came away more impressed with the Elite's PQ. Tomorrow, I'm pulling the trigger on a 60.

We actually saw it in 3D in the theater and were not wowed with the effects.

I had some bad DSE on my 929 before I traded it for the Elite.

Hey Ken heads up

The magnitude of the problem is proportional to the number of times you see it while watching TV. Luckily enough for you its only when you are looking for the problem that you see it.

I doubt its a piece of equipment, because at least for me I tried two different players. The only commonality was power (though considering the Elite's pickiness when it comes to UPS maybe that does factor in). I doubt its a sample to sample issue. If these were broken sets than statistically someone would have had the problem go away with a replacement set. This is why I believe every set has the problem.

How noticeable it is varies heavily on the sample, calibration settings and ambient light. I don't believe that THX mode has some sort of magic code in it that prevents the pulsing. More likely your movie mode settings exacerbate the problem to where you notice it. The bug could still be there in THX mode but below perception (and thus not a problem). I'm not sure what sample you use to look at the problem, but every sample has the problem to different magnitudes. I never watched TDK on the Elite so I can't judge. Ambient light plays such a role that when the sun is out the same content and same settings that create the worst flickering at night isn't noticeable at all. The flickering isn't gone, I just can't see it. Unfortunately I did most of my watching in the dark.

I stand by my assertion that every set has the bug. We also agree that its not noticeable by everyone in every mode, though my belief is that its there and below perception. I'll bet that the 'darker than black' sample will flicker on any calibrated set (local dimming = 'on') in any mode in a dark room.

Yes, the AN3DG20B glasses I bought from Amazon are identical to the ones that came with my Elite.

Thank you. The question put the cart before the horse, but not by much. My ship is coming in today at noon. (I'm scratching my head trying fit another metaphore in there to mix.)

sounds like a salesman to me.

Well set number three on the way. Everyone please cross those fingers tight for me...

Very cool but how does this address the issue? DisplayPort is NOT MENTIONED in teh LG stuff.

Also HDMI 1.4a is limited to 4k @24FPS due to bandwith. This is why 60FPS 3D is limited for games to 720p.

is the replacement through Sharp or through the retailer you bought them from?
